Immune System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Antibodies, complement proteins, and phagocytic cells provide effective protection against all of the following types of infections in Figure Q2.1, except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assuming Q2.1 lists infection types, intracellular pathogens (e.g., viruses) resist antibodies/complement/phagocytosis ; extracellular pathogens are cleared.
Question 2 of 5
Vertebrate eyes are Single-lens eyes with
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Vertebrate eyes have a single lens where light is focused by the cornea and lens, the lens shape adjusts for near and far vision, and photoreceptors in the retina detect light. All options are correct.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following helps activate our nonspecific (innate) defense system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Inflammation is a key innate defense mechanism, activating nonspecific responses to injury or infection, unlike active/passive immunity (adaptive) or erythrocyte mobilization.
Question 4 of 5
The complement system can be activated by
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Antigen-antibody complexes activate the complement system, enhancing pathogen destruction, not mediators, membranes, or T cells alone.
Question 5 of 5
Which complement pathway becomes activated by spontaneous hydrolysis of C3?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The alternative pathway is triggered by spontaneous C3 hydrolysis on pathogen surfaces, unlike classical (antibody-driven) or lectin (sugar-binding) pathways.
